Christchurch City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Thank you to the entire team at Christchurch City Hotel and helping to make our first trip to Christchurch a lovely stay. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the square, streets and surrounding buildings. The reception staff were wonderful and so friendly. The house keeping staff were lovely, super polite and kept our room at a high standard. We appreciated the brief chats at the front desk and considered you are all ambassadors to your hotel and indeed the Christchurch CBD. Everything you needed was a short walking distance. My husband spent a fair amount of time in the room and said he wished there was a comfortable lounge seat to relax in. The seating wasn’t comfy and the only alternative was the bed which wasn’t comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. The only grumble we had was our experience in the bar on our first night. The Asian barman was rude and really pretentious. My husband informed him we weren’t dining and he was handed a food menu with the drinks menu’s. My husband politely repeated we weren’t dining and the barman retorted “I know” and took the menu back. When we ordered drinks he brought them back and said “I hope I got that right” and my husband replied “so do I”. It was an uncomfortable exchange and I was super proud that my husband maintained his composure because I can assure you he was fuming. We left after finishing our drink. Not a great start to our stay but thankfully the rest of the staff were amazing. Thank you again guys."

West Fitzroy Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is well located in the city center. Being our first welcoming stay for our first NZ trip, we received a fabulous experience by the friendly and helpful staffs, the staying condition is pleasant, and the amenities suite our needs very well. I would say, this apartment will be our first choice when we visit Christchurch anytime in the future."
